Pros

Brand and business model is solid.

Cons

- Bureaucratic, hierarchical and super political - promotions are given to completely objectively unqualified individuals purely based on favoritism. - HR is unethical with promotions, sharing employees' private information, performance reviews - HR is an impotent function that protects bad manager behavior at the expense of high performing employees - huge exodus of high performing talent in recent months especially after the layoffs. - No work-life balance - expected to always be "on-call" working weekends and evenings - Very poor management and leadership - they make promises and then don't follow through, always with poor excuses - Leaders don't care about employee development, only about making themselves look good - especially HR - all marketing hype. - Recent "positive" reviews have been solicited by HR/Marketing to try to improve Glassdoor rating - but a great company shouldn't need to ask for positive reviews - its employees and customers should sing its praises on their own.

Pros

Great business that was always growing. Took care of the employees with many benefits that were better than peer institutions.

Cons

New senior management let go of all the old staff regardless of their attitudes and experience. They took away many employee benefits without adequate notice.

Pros

Global brand, great location if you work in SF, great if seeking a swanky job title (Director, Business leader ..), shuttle service, Smart people who are held victims of internal politics.

Cons

Dirty politics, favoritism, lack of innovation, poor compensation (No equity, horrible bonus structure), skills are allowed to rot while folks sucking up are rewarded, confusing year end review process, Lack of career opportunities. ask for a career development program and the leaders roll their eyes as if you asked for their kidney, NO work from home policy, Poor health insurance plans (raised the burden on employees by 20%). Recently Visa announced a 6% salary cut for the entire workforce (pension cuts).. While the news itself was ill timed given Visa Europe acquisition, record profits and all time high stock prices the way they announced it was totally out of whack and will give you a sense of the culture here. Email bursted to everyone announcing pension freeze and 20% employee cost increase to health insurance and asking employees to look at their future retirement plans and make adjustments as necessary. What follows is more than amusing : Goons or "Visa bouncers" outside the benefits meetings who would make sure that the meeting room doesn't allow more than 25 people in the room, reason - "We have security concerns". What makes employees a threat to any organization ! Utter nonsense ...People raising voices internally via local intranet website (hundreds of comments posted and close to 12000 likes) all go unheard, with the HR leader calling the employee response "over reaction" Just RUN !! There are better companies out there.
